Good work people. I do have a comment about the layout. As of now, I see bismi placed on top. Placing bismi gives the impression that wikipedia is aligning itself with a certain faith. It is crucial not to pick sides and some wikipedians (wikipedia is a global project, remember? Even if its written in Dhivehi) may find this offensive. I have had a look at other wikis such as Arabic Wikipedia and others. They do appear to follow neutrality.

Oblivious is right. Its important to remain impartial and objective when you are working

on something that is multinational and cultural. Just like any other Wikipedia this one should not pick any religious (or political) allegiance. Try to follow convention as he pointed, even the Arabic Wikipedia does not commence in the name of God. And oh, Oblivious, pick a Dhivehi username. ރަނގަޅުވާނެ "ތަންދޮރުނޭނގޭ" ނުވަތަ "ގަމާރު". For non-Oblivious readers, thats not a personal, thats not a personal attack. Just a joke he can relate to.

This is a project which is run by a 100% muslim country and thus the bismi should be there. we dnt care abt arabic wiki or any other, we are muslims and we need bismi for a successful project, thereby i say we keep the bismi as it is!!! thnx

Sorry to burst your bubble LeX, but I think you are being naïve by concluding this country is 100% moslem. We don't allow any other religions to co-exist with Islam but that doesn't mean practitioners of other relgions don't exist. I see that you choose to ignore convention rather than follow it, which is not the ideal thing to do. As for the matter of the Bismi, I do believe in divine blessing to an extent, but I personally think its irrelevant that someone begins something by verbally (or in this case, graphically) praying to God for His blessing. I am sure you'll agree with me when you get my drift.. when somebody eats, they don't (usually) verbally say out "In the name of God, the merciful, the beneficent" now do they? But that doesn't mean they are any less grateful for the food or ignoring God as long as they acknowledge Him in their hearts. Right? Sorry if the text is screwed up, but do any of you guys know how to properly type in English over here?

I've uploaded the new Main page today. If anyone wants to make a new change or give ideas please feel free to write it on this page. This is a new Beginning of a New Dhivehi Wiki. Many Thanks and Credits to IaN and LeX.

I still do not support the idea of bismi being removed off the main page just because this project is a neutral project. All native dhivehi speakers are muslims... i dun c anything wrong with starting the main page with bismi...

The new main page is great guys. That's really a great work you've done. You guys deserve a barn star or some thing for your hard work,. LeX, Ian and Glacious, Nice start!! A relly good beginning. Specially u, IaN!!

i dont think we need that technology portal link on the main page, it kinda takes space with no proper aticle about it.. and also due to those links the page alignment is lost... if we could remove one portal link from that and maybe put it somewhere else.. it might be better... im sure tha main page would look much better that way...wat do u guys think?

ވަރަށް ސަޅި ފުރުތަމަ ސަފްޙާ މިހާރު. Guys, the Coat of Arms displayed here looks very unsightly compared to the rest of the page. I strongly suggest you to use this one instead. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:MaldivesNationalEmblem.png Its a custom-made version I just uploaded onto the English Wikipedia. If you guys need the vector version (EPS or COREL) let me know, that is if you want to upload an SVG Image (which is kinda tough though ideal). I am glad at least some of you have consented to remove the Bismi, as an online encyclopedia is really not the right place to proclaim one's faith, especially the authors' (people will think we Maldivians are too self-centric eh?). As for the Islamic Center image, see if this suits better. I took it with a friend late one night during last Ramadan. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Mosque_Maldives.JPG Grr... is there anyway I can write in English with the orientation being completely screwed up? --ފިޒާން 13:30, 23 ފެބުރުވަރީ 2007 (UTC)

i guess we can take an article with full of knowladge and looks more scientific like the article i had contributed on maternal discomforts during pregnancy! This is an idea! There are some more articles like that! I hope you guys would like to response to my idea! thanks Khazaanaa 23:20, 24 މޭ 2007 (UTC)

Sorry I am not writing in Divehi. The Divehi Wiktionary Has been proposed for closure. For more information please follow the link included in this link. Regards. --80.5.88.40 15:37, 17 ޖުލައި 2009 (UTC)

In order to make this message better known among the Divehi speaking wikicommunity here perhaps it would be a good idea to leave a notice either in the Main Page or in MediaWiki page for site notices. Regards. --80.5.88.40 18:39, 17 ޖުލައި 2009 (UTC).

Its okay, ppl here can read and write english. English is their second language. Have a good day!

I didn't mean that. I was referring to leaving a message for the Divehi community in a place where more people could see it so that any person interested would be likely to come across it by chance. Regards.

Hello! I am a Polish wikipedian and I would like to ask you for your help - writing a new article about former Polish President who won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1983 – Lech Wałęsa. I have looked for his biography in your Wikipedia but without success. Polish Wikipedians will be grateful for your help. Thank you so much in advance! PS you can find the English version of the article here. Best wishes from Poland, Patrol110 22:07, 28 އޮކްޓޫބަރު 2009 (UTC)

Someone should do the configurations for the mobile wikipedia. Details are available on how to do it, when you visit the Divehi mobile wiki. Follow those steps to get it up and running--CRC43 (talk) 02:46, 6 ޑިސެމްބަރު 2012 (UTC)

Hi! Some years ago (in 2008) I received a picture about a most-perfect magic square from the ParshvanathJain temple in Khajuraho; Rajasthan. This Khajuraho square is also named Chautisa Yantra.
